Risky times: Hazard management and the tyranny of the present
(Elsevier, 2017)This paper examines how the processes and practices of hazard management skew decision-making towards current concerns, shaping the treatment of the future in the present. We reveal how norms of science and policy combine ... -
River Co-management and Planning in the Waikato: An Analysis of Regional and District Plans and Regional Policy Statement Compliance, and a New Approach to Plan Preparation
(University of Waikato, 2017)The Waikato River is one of New Zealand most significant rivers. It is an ancestor to one Iwi, significant to four other Iwi generates most of the country’s hydroelectricity and provides large amount of potable water to ... -
River Mouth Processes and Morphodynamics on a Mixed Sand-Gravel Beach
(University of Waikato, 2000)Where the Ashburton river meets the sea it is impounded by a mixed sand-gravel barrier, formed through littoral transport of sediment, causing a lagoon to form, locally referred to as hapua. From the hapua, discharge to ... -
River: Machine learning for streaming data in Python
(2021)River is a machine learning library for dynamic data streams and continual learning. It provides multiple state-of-the-art learning methods, data generators/transformers, performance metrics and evaluators for different ... -
RNAi-mediated Reduction of a Major Ruminant Specific Milk Allergen Using a Transgenic Mouse Model
(University of Waikato, 2012)Milk from dairy cows is an important human food. It contains the protein beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) which is not present in human milk and thought to be a major allergen in the milk of cows. RNA interference (RNAi), mediated ... -
Road user behaviour changes following a self-explaining roads intervention
(Elsevier, 2013)The self-explaining roads (SER) approach uses road designs that evoke correct expectations and driving behaviours from road users to create a safe and user-friendly road network. Following the implementation of an SER ... -
Road User Interactions: Patterns of Road Use and Perception of Driving Risk
(2002)The goal of the Road User Interactions research programme is a better understanding of the human factors of our road transport system: road user demographics, risk perceptions of road users, and the driving attitudes of ... -
A roadmap for Antarctic and Southern Ocean science for the next two decades and beyond
(Cambridge University Press, 2015)Antarctic and Southern Ocean science is vital to understanding natural variability, the processes that govern global change and the role of humans in the Earth and climate system. The potential for new knowledge to be ... -
Robert and Elizabeth Mackie: a Te Aroha butcher and his family
(Historical Research Unit, University of Waikato, 2016)Although Elizabeth Mackie was fondly remembered, her husband, Robert, was not. Both were of Scottish parentage, and lived in various places in New Zealand before settling in Te Aroha in the early 1880s. Having participated ... -
Robert John Michael: a Te Aroha labourer
(Historical Research Unit, University of Waikato, 2016)An Irishman, Michael prospected at Waihi before settling in Te Aroha in late 1882, where he owned several worthless mines close to that settlement and also at Stoney Creek. He also acquired and developed farmland on the ... -
Robin's inequality for 11-free integers
(State University of West Georgia, Charles University, and DIMATIA, 2015)Let σ(n) denote the sum of divisors function, and let ϒ be Euler’s constant. We prove that if there is an n≥5041 for which σ(n)≥eϒn log log n, then n must be divisible by the eleventh power of some prime. -
Robocop - The depersonalisation of police officers and their emotions: A diary study of emotional labor and burnout in front line British police officers
(Elsevier BV, 2019)Policing has long been recognized as an emotionally distressing and stressful occupation, and recent years have seen a marked increase in psychological illness within the police service of Britain. Research into the emotional ... -
Robotic kiwifruit harvesting using machine vision, convolutional neural networks, and robotic arms
(Elsevier, 2019)As labour requirements in horticultural become more challenging, automated solutions are becoming an effective approach to maintain productivity and quality. This paper presents the design and performance evaluation of a ... -
Robotic Pollination - Targeting kiwifruit flowers for commercial application
(2017)This paper contains the initial evaluation of a novel platform mounted robotic pollination system. Advancement in artificial pollination is an important step forward in agricultural sectors due to the global decline of ... -
Robust mathematical programming for natural resource modelling under parametric uncertainty
(Wiley Blackwell, 2010)Inaccurate specification of model coefficients can lead to false or distorted findings in modeling investigations of natural resource management. Hence, this paper outlines a decision framework for optimization problems ... -
Robust radiocarbon dating of wood samples by high-sensitivity liquid scintillation spectroscopy in the 50–70 kyr age range
(University of Arizona, Department of Geosciences, 2007)Although high-sensitivity liquid scintillation (LS) spectroscopy is theoretically capable of producing finite radiocarbon ages in the 50,000- to 70,000-yr range, there is little evidence in the literature that meaningful ... -
Robust regression for highly corrupted response by shifting outliers
(2016-01-22)Outlying observations are often disregarded at the sacrifice of degrees of freedom or downsized via robust loss functions (e.g., Huber's loss) to reduce the undesirable impact on data analysis. In this article, we treat ... -
A robust semantics hides fewer errors
(Springer, 2009)In this paper we explore how formal models are interpreted and to what degree meaning is captured in the formal semantics and to what degree it remains in the informal interpretation of the semantics. By applying a robust ... -

(University of Waikato, Department of Computer Science, 2009-06-10)In this paper we explore how formal models are interpreted and to what degree meaning is captured in the formal semantics and to what degree it remains in the informal interpretation of the semantics. By applying a robust ... -
'Rock ova and lap up': A critique of Caribbean theories of national identity through the Jamaican public transport system
(University of Waikato, 2016)Public transport is a major aspect of the social and economic life of Jamaican people. With a population of 2.7 million and only 188 per thousand vehicles, many people have come to rely on public transport. Public travel ...
